I'm ready to see one of your roms on here. Can we expect one anytime soon?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachattack052:
lmfao now i feel like a dumb ass.

actually i am working on a froyo right now, thats why i asked about this one.. you should see it on the forum with in the week if all goes well. also i plan on making numerous roms so you will be seeing more of me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
how you liking the slide man? i know you and x made a great team for creating some fast g1 roms so i cant wait for you to pop a few out!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachattack052:
its a tank compared to my 32b. and im looking forward to deving for the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
inb4 every ROM on this forum is pngcrushed and rebranded.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kriskross16:
I have this rom on my phone and I was wondering why the notification bar thing has a black background and says #teamslide ? Is there a way to take this off ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
The #Teamslide is due to the fact the person who made is part of that group as the title of the thread states. I think its pretty awesome along with the rest of the rom. I don't know if u can change it but its not that big a deal.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kriskross16:
I see, so is there any way to change that background because I am anal about things and it's sort of bothering me :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
It's in framework-res, prefixed by status_bar. I forgot which one it is, the name should bring it out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kriskross16:
Yes I found it . I changed it and the background of the notification changed for a second , but then the phone rebooted and it went back to normal. Any way to fix this ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
yeah, actually.. boot phone into recovery, mount system, and then change it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kriskross16:
Okay , but how do you mount the phone while in recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Boot into clockworkmod, go to partitions, make sure the partitions you need are mounted.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielt021:
So is there a way?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
Only way I know is to power off while it charges. It seems to charge faster via the included power charger verse just plugging it into the usb port on the computer but that might just be me. Also turn off all the extras like Wifi/GPS/Bluetooth and make sure you run task killler often to keep unwanted programs from draining your battery.
[Desire General] muuu:
SMS can't contain a "/" in the "From" field.

This bug is found in the original 2.1 ROM from HTC and the OTA update(Also 2.1).

I also found the same bug in DJ DROID and DeVillain.

But to my surprise DeFroST(Not a Sense rom) doesn't have this problem.

I've recreated the problem using a app called "SMS Backup & Restore".

First i made a backup while running DeFrost.

Then I flashed to a another rom(One of the Sense based), and tried to restore the SMS.

But now the app fails to restore.

So I edited the xml file and removed the slash "/" and tried to restore again, and now it worked.

I've uploaded the two xml files I used.

http://randomcrap.dk/temp/HTC_SMS_Test.zip

I hope some hacker can find a way to fix this bug.

I love the Sense builds, and would love to be able to receive SMS from the firm I work at. :p
[HTC Aria General] plutino99:
Has anyone figured out how to do this?
[HTC Aria General] rarara77:
Yes, you can go to Settings-->Accounts and Sync-->And Uncheck Auto-sync. You could also disable individual things syncing such as news or weather.
[HTC Aria General] plutino99:
well, probably I didn't make myself very clear. For News sync, there is an option to change the update frequency to "manual". But for Stocks, that option is grey out. How to make that option available?

Also another question, "footprints" keeps starting itself. How to disable it?

Many thanks.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
>Also another question, "footprints" keeps starting itself. How to disable it?

this along with stocks can be simply removed using the adb commands posted in the thread on removing apps
[HTC Aria General] plutino99:
Thanks. I was hesitated to try this because I worried that removing the programs may cause some problem since the system looked for them during starting-up and during sync, and for footprints, probably all the time.

In other words, which file/files to edit to prevent these system behaviors?
[Droid X Android Development] jcase:
Trying to confirm something off a second device.

Can someone run a few commands from adb shell for me, will not work from terminal emulator app on the phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
is our phone different?

im not seeing a customize folder in /system/customize

actually i cant find a 'bootanimation' file anywhere on the phone, i did a search in root explorer. this makes me think changing the animation in our phone is done differently. can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fua:
/system/media/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
but theres no bootanimation.zip in system/media

..i just really want to change my animation.. does NOBODY know how?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Well if you really want it badly, just start searching for it. Maybe Samsung does it differently. I would look for any .gif file or any zip file that might be it. I plan on doing this myself when I get the phone up and running.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fua:
shut down is series of png files + ogg sound file, but for boot there is bootsamsung.qmg 4,44MB

how to edit or change that, i dont know
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
Maybe you could, I dunno, put in some effort researching and testing and be the first to successfully change it, as opposed to just blaming everyone else for not knowing?

Yes, I've noticed this before as well. The png+ogg are effectively the boot animation in frame by frame format with the sound. Pity Soraxd couldn't even put two and two together and notice this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
In an effort to get rid of the boot animations entirely, I've moved/backed up all files and folders that appear to be relating to the boot animations and sounds.

Looks good up to a point - shutdown animation and sound is completely gone, startup video is also gone, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of the startup sound. I can't find any audio files that correlate with the sound that plays...

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Really? I would think the sounds would be in the same folder as the images, strange.

What folders did you backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
I've found the power on sound, now I have no animation/sound at startup or shutdown (still get the Galaxy S initial bootup screen). Looks like deleting the shutdown video (or rather collection of .pngs) stops the audio from being played as well, though I've deleted shutdown.ogg as I don't need it anymore.

Startup sound;

/system/etc/PowerOn.wav

Startup animation;

/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg

/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

Shutdown sound;

/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

Shutdown video (directory of .pngs);

/system/media/shutdown/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
What the heck is a qmg file? I would like to try to replace the boot screen, but I don't know of a program that saves in qmg format. Replacing the shutdown screen should be easy.

Thanks Squid for showing the folders.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vijaykanth:
There are certain files here too:

/system/bin

bootanimation 22.57kb

bootaniamtion2nd 22.59kb

when I ask for details using Astro File Manager, it does not give any extension, just the Permissions and MD5...

No idea what these are...

Wait I think they are script files?! :S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
I didn't mention those because they appeared not to have any effect on the actual bootup, so i just left them in there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tom72022:
i manage to change the shutdown animations

download For NewerROMs like VillainROM.zip

unzip For NewerROMs like VillainROM

go into /system/customize/resource

unzip bootanimation.zip

there is part0 and part1

see which animation u guy want change the file name to shutdown_0,shutdown_1................

use adb pull /system/media/video/shutdown c:/

open the shutdown delete all then file expect shutdown.cfg

copy the rename file into it

use adb push c:/shutdown /system/media/video/shutdown
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vijaykanth:
what... ?! Did not understand... I thought VillainROM was for HTC phones...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KHZidane110:
It is, VillainRom is a rom for the gsm htc hero, the boot files however are just png's coupled with a config file that tells android how many fps it should play the animation at, the Samsung shutdown animation works pretty much the same way, so tom72022 simply replaced the shutdown png's with the bootup png's which resulted in a custom shutdown animation. Its pretty logical when you think about it, However in my opinion its pretty pointless to use a boot animation as a shutdown animation, and to be honest I can't see the point of a custom bootscreen on the galaxy s, even if we manage to replace the bootscreen what would be the point? the phone boots so fast that we would't see much of the animation anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vijaykanth:
Hahaha... true true!!! :D

Hummingbird is awesome...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
yup....this works great
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emms:
i took the 19 files in the animation of the green dude pi**ing on apple logo and renamed each one accordingly ie shutdown_1 - shutdown_20 (picture 20 was just plain black image i added) using root explorer deleted the shutdown folder and replaced it with new renamed folder inc the 19 + 1 files i edited and upon shutdown it works perfect.

iv added the folder with edited png inside to install use root explorer or similar.

1.do nand backup + extract contents (shutdown folder) to memory card.

2. open root explorer and browse to /system/media/video and delete shutdown folder.

3. browse to the location you extracted shutdown folder from earlier (1.) and press and hold on the folder and hit copy.

4. browse back to /system/media/video and paste folder

5. restart phone to see effect :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m4ssnet:
with new kernel speedmod-kernel-k1r6, you can put your file bootanimation.zip into /data/local, at boot, if present, automatically change the bootscreen (on startup, no on shutdown) into that you've put inside this folder (you need adb push with remount/su permission or directly with root explorer, this folder is write protected).

In attachment, for example, my bootscreen (X logo style nexus, but with an improved and awesome color transiction effect, you can unzip it and scroll fast the images for a preview ;) )

I hope, to have explained how to change the bootscreen easily in our galaxy S :cool:

ps. the speedmod kernel, it's the best so far kernel avaiable here with all customization :rolleyes:

[HD2 Accessories] maxpower097:
Nice find I may have to jump on that one.
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Are those two products the same, only a different color?

They look different to me.

If anyone here has tried one, and could review it, please do so.

Freedom Input also had a small BT thumboard like that, which you can see at:

http://www.freedominput.com/technical-support/technical-support/slim-keypad

However, it is now only listed under tech support, not under products, so it may have been discontinued. They still may be available at some places, however. I think more expensive though, than the two listed earlier in this thread.

I really would like to hear how those have worked for people.

Of course, that kind of very small phone size thumb boards do not cover the whole subject of external BT keyboards. More common are the full-size fold-up BT keyboards. Not for a shirt or pants pocket, but can fit in a coat pocket. Also not to use holding in your hand, but to fold out on a table. So, completely different usage--but is like typing on a normal computer keyboard. Freedom Input makes a couple models of those. Stowaway (Think Outside, later Igo) brand had a couple different models (now discontinued, but probably still avaialble), HP used to make one, I think there are others as welll.

However, I'm interested in finding out about those small thumb boards now. I have an HD2 on the way, and am not used to all-touch. Until I get used to touch screen typing, I might like to have a physical keyboard as well. (I already have the large size fold-up BT keyboard, but I think the small pocketable thumb board type could come in handy, if they are any good.)

If anyone here could review any of those, I would appreciate it.
[HD2 Accessories] me:
I found one review of the Chinavision product here on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704310

Not very encouraging.

Anyone else?

---------------

PS Found another thread on XDA, with more reviews of it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6819244&posted=1

Sounds kind of iffy, especially if ordering from China and hard to return. Even at $25, I wouldn't want to throw that money away. If possible to order from here, with full refund if unhappy with it, possible.

Haven't yet seen reviews of the first one mentioned, dilyeo (?) ? Anyone?

One thing I don't see mentioned, that I think would be important, a necessity. An on-off key, that would not turn on by accident, in one's pocket. For one thing, not to use up the battery too quick, but also, if in your pocket, turned on, no case, it could be inputting characters in your phone, that you don't want.

For that matter, even with an on-off switch, some kind of hard flip cover sure would be nice, to protect the keyboard when in the pocket.
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Look at the following page at brando.com:

http://usb.brando.com/usb-keyboard_c034d015

They offer more different kinds of those small bt thumbboards, than I have ever seen. Of course, the question still is--are they any good? They even have some with touchpads (such as on a laptop, to function as a mouse), etc.

This one looks a lot like the chinavision one mentioned, perhaps it is the same, perhaps not: http://usb.brando.com/slim-bluetooth-keyboard_p01591c034d015.html

another similar one: http://usb.brando.com/mini-plam-size-bluetooth-keyboard_p01651c034d015.html

"Plam-sized", eh?

This one looks interesting, it does have a flip cover:

http://usb.brando.com/palm-size-bluetooth-keyboard_p01307c034d015.html

Brando is in Hong Kong though, so again, difficult to return. Anyone ordered from them? Anyone tried any of these keyboards?
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Anyone here tried one of these small pocketable handheld BT keyboards?

If so, your review?

I'm using the Apple BT keyboard, works great except the arrow keys have some issues. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTMzNzg5MDM

Price is pretty decent too. Don't know if the trackpad they sell would work but from my experience with mice I'd say not.
[HD2 Accessories] me:
The Stowaway BT Keyboard works just fine with the HD2. I have one. You don't need the Stowaway drivers, it works fine with the HD2 HID service.

But yes, the Stowaway mouse does not work on the HD2.

In any case, this thread is not primarily about the large fold-up full size keyboards like the Stowaway. If you read the previous posts, it is mostly a discussion of the small palm-sized BT keyboards (or thumbboards).

That said, as a new Droid X owner, I wish that the Android dev community would be a bit more receptive to the Droid X. There are people -- plenty of them -- out there who want root on their Droid X. Besides, what better way to show up Motorola than to hack their unhackable phone? Getting mad at Motorola is great and all, but it doesn't do much in the long run.

[Droid X Android Development] threecentsflat:
glad to hear it b16a2smith

I suggest you guys set up an irc room and even a private wiki to generate a community of devs for this endeavor

I guess the community would want to start documenting the layers of the boot process with hard- and software hooks (which may be an adventure in itself) to start looking for any possible exploits, keeping in mind the interactions between the sbf and the bootloader

Of course get up to speed with the milestone exploits and methods like the kexec, and see how much (if any) modifications they need to be applied to the dx
